Prospective risk analysis and incident reporting for better pharmaceutical care at paediatric hospital discharge.

Kaestli LZ, Cingria L, Fonzo-Christe C, Bonnabry P. Int J Clin Pharm. 2014;36:953-962.

Researchers performed prospective risk assessment using failure mode and effects analysis for medication errors following hospital discharge. This method identified more errors than traditional incident reporting, as expected given the known under-reporting in all voluntary safety reporting mechanisms studied.
